YES! That’s right. Having already looked into House Targaryen and their epic history, we now move away from the fire and look into the icy north at House Stark. The Starks are one of the oldest and noblest of Westerosi houses. They are descendants of the First Men and ruled over the north of Westeros from their seat at Winterfell, as the King in the North. Upon Aegon’s conquest of Westeros , Torrhen Stark the then Lord of Winterfell bent the Knee to Aegon Targaryen and bought the north under the rule of the Iron throne. Hereafter the Starks became known as the Wardens of the North. The words of House Stark are “Winter is Coming “and the Starks are one of the few houses whose words are more of a warning than a boast or taunt.
